Though it never became a commercial crop, the bean has remained popular in homestead gardens for well over a century, renowned for its ability to germinate in cool soil, its early maturity, and its outstanding flavor. The beans are creamy-white with a mottled burgundy spot around the hilum and are great for most dishes, but are especially known for making terrific baked beans. We prefer it topped with good olive oil in which a few cloves of garlic and some rosemary have been marinating. Add salt, some fresh cherry tomatoes, and a handful of spinach or arugula, and you have a lovely meal! \u003cbr\u003eOur seed stock came from the folks at Willowood Farm in Coupeville, who have been working to popularize this local treasure. A first-rate, productive dry bean for our maritime climate. Very rare and recently boarded on the Slowfood USA Ark. \u003cbr\u003e80 days.

Beans can produce their own usable nitrogen from atmospheric nitrogen through a symbiotic relationship with bacteria that colonize specialized nodules in their roots. Too much soil fertility can cause excessive vegetative growth at the expense of pod set and maturity.\u003cbr\u003eBeans prefer well-drained warm soil with a pH between 6.0-7.0.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eADDITIONAL NOTES:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeans prefer warm soils and may rot at lower temperatures.
